Where these two actually differ
- We flag Phthalates in polyurethane or polyester blend, Coating degradation and leachable release, Off-gassing from polyurethane or adhesives and Undisclosed waterproofing chemistry (PFAS or alternatives) on the IKEA and not on the Avocado Green Mattress.
- The Avocado Green Mattress is organic cotton where the IKEA is Polyurethane or polyester blend with waterproof coating (composition unspecified), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Avocado Green Mattress is the one to buy.
- We are less certain about the IKEA grade, at 45% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
